Adjust SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS on WIndows 2003 x64?

Does anyone know if you can adjust the

installpath\Netbackup\db\config\SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS

on a Windows 2003 64 bit O/S? I found that you can't normally adjust this
from the default size on Windows 32 bit operating systems, but maybe you
can with Windows 2003 x64? Also on Linux RedHad Enterprise I found that
you can adjust this parameter (even on the same hardware), but I would rather
use Windows.

MS made a change with SP1 of Win 2003 that locks tape IO at 64k blocks
x64 versions of 2003 include SP1 by default. MS has a hotfix available to
remove this 64K lock.

Look for MS KB 907418
